I'm sure I saw a Palace player use a towel. today The said towel was on the ground about 20 yards out. I thought they were against the rules now. Having read up it states if both teams agree it can happen in the Premier league but not in the EFL Why the difference?
Is one of the first moves toward to them going completely independent of ELF ie. no promotion or religation?
I think the towel situation has to be agreed by both teams - So if the home team wants a towel, then the away team is allowed to use it and cannot be denied using it or something like that.

The EFL teams are the ones that voted to ban it so not sure how it is the start of a slippery slope to no relegation or promotion.

Whoever wrote this shite was probably lapping it up when teams were doing Cruyff turns in their own penalty areas and giving away stupid goals

Liverpool heading for one of the worst defences of a title on record, surely. They've not looked convincing at any point this season, they were just getting away with it earlier on.

Am I imagining it, or did we not go to Anfield in the Premier League and put 5 past them? Or was that pre-Premier League?

Edit: Ah, no. Hang on. I think we won there 3-2 actually.

Isak just made no sense for them as a signing, more the sort of stuff you’d expect from Man Utd

Klopp going back would be worth a bet.

The Dutch Uncle Fester looks to be on borrowed time.

You can get away with a few dodgy results, but not when you`ve just spent 400 mil on players to defend the title and non of them look remotely suited to the system you want them to play.

Selling Kelleher to replace him with that new bloke made no sense
Kerkez has looked miles off it
Wirtz and Isak incredibly expensive and talented, but don't fit the system
Ekitike looks the best signing of the summer intake but now has to contend with Isak

They've just gone wrong with the recruitment and/or, Slot was actually just benefitting from inheriting Klopp's squad and he isn't up to the task regardless.

Looks like he`s inherited Klopps team, tinkered with it a bit and then changed it up this season with very expensive players, who aren`t suited to the system he wants them to play in.

They are so reliant on Salah too, that any dip in form from him and it adversely affects the whole team.

Salah's basically nullified in this system of theirs

Definitely.

It's a shame because my wife is a lifelong Wolves fan and I was looking forward to us doing the double over them next season. Never mind, there's always the year after if they come straight back up.

🤣
Going just off the highlights they looked actually a bit unfortunate to lose today but yeah, Edwards is just prepping for the Championship.

Just us and Villa as the West Midlands clubs potentially next season, like old times…

This ref in the Leeds v villa game is shite.

Bogle running to chase after the ball dived and ref blows for a free kick.
